“Genealogy through Photography: Exploring Family Photographs”
Tuesday, May 13
“Genealogy through Photography: Exploring Family Photographs”  (Program)
1:00 pm
In Person - at the corner of 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy and Linn Station Rd.
 
Presented by:  Heather Potter
 
The Filson Historical Society located in Old Louisville has over 75,000 photographic items within its collection. A large portion is comprised of local Louisville and Southern Indiana family photographs. While you may be familiar with the Filson’s library resources, many forget about our visual resources. Filson’s Curator of Photographs & Prints, Heather J. Potter, will give an overview of the Filson’ Photographic Collections, a tutorial on how to search the collection, how to identify 19th century photographic formats, and some tips on how to preserve your own family photographs.
